Deals Gap

Just got back today.. just road on Friday and had a great time! My bike got A LOT of attention!!! I got stung/bit whatever by a bee that hit me then fell into my shirt/jacket... Our buddy blew up his buell on his 2nd run on the dragon lol and other buddies Agusta lost a piece of fairing (we picked it up) but it was a bit scratched. We still had a GREAT time! a few pics...

Re: Deals Gap

The husband wants to take our STi down there. Just wont happen.. There is no way he can be there in the car without having the bikes there. Maybe if we went one time with someone else we could have drive the car. (no way i'm driving all that way - I rather sleep)

Re: Deals Gap

I would like to go down there sometime! I spy a cop in that pic and heard they patrol that area pretty well. Is that the case or not?

That day they only had that one sitting at the dead end of the road and one that was out of his car with the radar.

The first full day the dragon was completely open they said there was 3 or 4 cars and 2 bicycle cops!!!
First time we went we saw 2 cops - one on the TN side right as you were getting on and one that was randomly checking insurance/license

Re: Deals Gap

dark sol they have pro photographers. i doubt they'll allow you do get in those positions.. or that you would WANT to from what i've heard of some of the dangerous places they take pics from.

They use the exact same equipment I have.. They probably have more experience granted, but same equipment never the less. I litterally have a ton of money in camera equipment for my wife.

What camera do you use?

We currently use Canon 40D and 50D digital SLR cameras with various Canon "L" professional lenses

.

We are currently shooting at a resolution of about 3888x2592, or 10 megapixels and only in JPEG format. Very old shots (pre 2003) may be of slightly less resolution, but nothing is below 5 megapixel image size. These images are more than adequate for poster prints of 24x36 inches.

Re: Deals Gap

Been saying I'm gonna get down there for years it seems. Just hard to get the time to do it. Did you guys ride from here down? Seems after a hour or so you have to pry me off of my bike from getting stiff. Sucks getting older!!!!!! Awesome pics!!!!

Re: Deals Gap

I actually have very good balance when I'm not on my feet.. lol Thats how I managed to ride horses for so long (and my crazy horse) for so many years and only fall off 3 times! lol I would have been one hell of a good rodeo rider.

I'm just not going to attempt it until I have the proper training. My bike is NOT cheap to fix.
